For HDMI the best method is by using an interface that plugs into the expansion port/edge connector. For example the ZX-HD HDMI INTERFACE.

There is also the RGB to HDMI using a Pi Zero and a small CPLD project, but I don’t know if or who is making these at the moment.

For VGA, have a look at the ZX-VGA-JOY.

I don’t use any of these with a ZX Spectrum, so am unable to help further.

There may well be other devices that I don’t know about.

There are SCART to HDMI converters on trading sites. But it’s a minefield buying one. You need one that does SCART RGB. All the very inexpensive units don’t work with SCART RGB. Some of the units in metal cases may work.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb.
